Weights of the Bell Centennial typeface are named for their applications in setting telephone directories.
Ink traps are designed to anticipate ink spread on uncoated paper at smaller point sizes. The ink traps fill in, leaving the characters' counterforms open and preserving legibility.

Bell Centennial is a sans-serif typeface in the industrial or grotesque style designed by Matthew Carter in the period 1975–1978. The typeface was commissioned by AT&T as a proprietary type to replace their then current directory typeface Bell Gothic on the occasion of AT&T's one hundredth anniversary. Carter was working for the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, which now licenses the face for general public use.
